Nate Knapp, an SPU English grad (’11), is now an MFA candidate at Oklahoma State University in fiction writing. He asked us to pass on this email to SPU English majors:

We at The Collapsar publish 5-6 issues a year in a slick online format, and with each issue we try to feature a unique photographer (several of our past photography contributors have been SPU alumni) to accompany the fiction, essays, and poetry that we publish. We’ve published writers from all across the country, both established and emerging, and our readership is steadily growing. Right now, we’re looking for new photographers and writers for the upcoming year. We’re especially interested interested in photographers and excellent, polished essays.

If interested, please check out our current issue and take a look at our back issues to get an idea of the kind of work we’re looking for (although we’re always open to new styles!). You can check us out at www.thecollapsar.com.
